Marking Period 4 Project

Complete a special project for the fourth marking period. Design a web site for a real-world, non-profit organization as a volunteer, not-for-pay, community service. Your teacher will determine if an organization is appropriate and assist you in determining what type of web site should be developed. You may use class time to develop the web site, practicing what you have learned over the course, and learn how to upload the web pages. You will be able to see your work on-line, for real. First make sure you fully understand what we are about:
